Patients often want to eliminate fat deposits in specific areas of the body, ranging from their upper arms to their belly and thighs. Once you learn more about the benefits of using CoolSculpting to eliminate unwanted fat, your next move is to contact Dr. Robert Young, Dr. Blake Steele, and the specialists at Rocky Mountain Dermatology in North Logan, UT, to determine if this is the right cosmetic treatment for you.

What Is Non-Surgical Fat Reduction?

In the past, the go-to method for removing unwanted fat was a surgical procedure called liposuction. Though this option is still available, many patients prefer a non-surgical alternative. With non-surgical fat reduction, your doctor can eliminate fat cells without having to cut into the body or administer deep anesthesia, so it is significantly less risky compared to plastic surgery. One popular non-surgical fat reduction treatment used by dermatologists is called CoolSculpting.

Benefits of CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting uses a cooling method called cryolipolysis to freeze fat cells under the skin and muscles. Once they freeze, the cells are no longer viable, and will eventually pass out of the body through bowel movements. CoolSculpting treatments with your North Logan, UT, dermatologist can treat multiple areas of the body including the sides (love handles), abdomen, thighs, and chin. The benefits of CoolSculpting include:

• No need for anesthesia.
• Noticeable results after a few months.
• Some patients can see as much as a 20 to 25 percent reduction in fat.
• Long-lasting results with dietary changes, exercise, and follow-up treatments.

What to Expect at Your CoolSculpting Session

You should set aside between one to three hours of your time for each CoolSculpting session. Your dermatologist will likely recommend at least two sessions to ensure results. You’ll lay back in the doctor’s chair with a gel pad and applicator on the targeted area. As the applicator compresses against the skin, you’ll feel a cooling sensation until the area becomes numb. To complete the treatment, your doctor will remove the applicator and massage the area to help the fat cells begin to dissipate.
